You are wrong. I'm absolutely in favor of a government which acts to facilitate our society which is run prudently without partisan considerations. I would like one that represents and serves all of us and taxes put to good use are just fine with me. You make claims about "small government" and yet you could not find where I am explicitly for it, nor am I for something larger than it need to be. What is proper, prudent, and necessary including safety nets.
I am not a fan of incompetence, and the constant problems with bureaucracy as we've seen with the VA. I'm for healthcare reform, real healthcare reform, not a political construct, but radical changes. Those charged with such changes should be experts in all aspects of care, selected on recognized merit to create a unified system based on needs, and well tested and understood with patient care being the priority. Improved outcomes reduces costs and the program of withholding payment for performance is outright stupidity and it failed as expected. No reform, just a stick, but it looks good come election time.
Nope.
Put those who know in charge. Won't happen because it might not be the Democrats political solution nor the Republican's either. Just what works for the nation and the patient. If some politician or party can't claim ownership, that will be THE point which strangles any such approach. People here shouted down this approach, the liberals to be specific, when I suggested this comprehensive approach over Obamacare. You would have thought I was burning Obama at the stake, and being quote "A corporate shill". Now would you back it or does it have to fit your political agenda? Is a liberal one who insists a Senator who has precious little time and zero understanding run things with "experts" based on political outcomes and ideology? Can a different approach be had or must a liberal be as inflexible as a conservative and the "free market" approach?
What are the limits you place to prevent the best government possible for the sake of party, ideology and the old way of doing things?
